There are a many ways to run Nextcloud:
- on localhost, on a VPS, or in a Docker container
- using Apache, nginx,
php -S - from git, from zip, via snap
- With nc-sciencemesh enabled: pondersource/sciencemesh-nextcloud#demo-setup
- With solid-nextcloud enabled: pdsinterop/solid-nextcloud:/setup-test-server.sh
- With nc-sciencemesh enabled:
- generate cert for nc1.docker
- build for nc1
- start nc1.docker with maria1.docker
- With solid-nextcloud enabled: https://github.com/pdsinterop/solid-nextcloud/blob/main/run-solid-test-suite.sh
- For instance these install instructions
Note that in September 2022, we at Ponder Source switched from "On localhost, using php -S" to "On localhost, using Docker"
as our standard development environment,
because too many team member were spending too many days (even weeks!) being stuck in a "My local Nextcloud is broken" state.
It's a bit harder to connect your step debugger to a PHP process running inside Docker, but in the end we decided that
disadvantage is outweighed by the advantage of having a dev setup that you can simply reset with a single command.
TODO: try out something like https://dev.to/jackmiras/xdebug-in-vscode-with-docker-379l
